All smiles
(so is her mom, she started sleeping 10 hours!)
Siblings? Kylee definitely has her own look, but she sure does have some of her brother/father's features!

Yes, it has been awhile. I must say that having three kids, (3 and under I might add, all of which are at home with me all day)and keeping the three kids entertained all day, trying to keep up on the house work, going to school, trying to loose weight, cooking meals and doing homework, really fill up my plate everyday. It may sound like complaining, but I am not. This is how a choose my life, and it may be crazy busy day in and out but I love it. I just have to put other things such as blogging on the back burner. I think of things all the time that I would love to blog about..... in the shower, which is my only quiet time.(lol, as I am reading this I am laughing because the kids are usually pounding on the door to my bedroom the entire time I am in the shower!) Needless to say the computer is not in the shower with me, so you won't get to read all that I think about. Which may be a good thing ;)
Kylee has been such an asset to our family! Oh she is my sweetie! I bonded with her faster than my other kids because of her loving heart. She put me through heck and back during pregnancy, oh how happy I am to not be pregnant. My little girl was so worth it. Even from the start this girl would mostly do 3 hours between feedings and at 5 weeks she did 8. She is now 8 weeks (I swear time goes ten times faster with each kids) and constantly sleeps 8-9 hours at night. Not as good as her sister that was doing 12hours by this time, but I will take it. She is incredibly easy to read. She is very good at communicating with her cry's what she needs. I prep Hayden all about babies and how much they cry. Kylee did not live up to my expectations(at least not yet) she is a very calm baby. Maybe because she has a lot of people entertaining her all the time. She is a spitting image of Hayden as a baby, but as she grows older she is taking on a look of her own.
The first few weeks of recover for me was difficult. I am so thankful to have my Mother in law and sister in law come out and help with Hayden and Hadley especially over the holidays. Cindy took excellent care of my family. She is wonder woman, and would let me sleep while she took care of the house or dinner. We even got out a couple time, a couple times my body had to stay home, so Kylee and I stayed home while everyone was out partying. Of course I took hardly any pictures, even though Hadley had her 2nd birthday and we celebrated Christmas. It was sad to see them go, luckily a few weeks later my mom and my sister flew in to help. My sister Colleen actually did take pictures which I stole from her. She helped out a lot with the kids, and the kids were in love with Aunt Keen. I caught Hadley calling her mommy a couple times. We were able to take my mom and Keen out and about. It was Keens first time in Florida, and I felt bad that even though it was in the low 70's it was the coldest it had been in a while. But we still hit up the beach. Well enough chit chat, here are the pictures. You ready for this? Jamie keeps bugging me for pictures so I figure next week when she has her baby I will be the one begging for pictures, so I need to make her happy!
This was Hayden and Hadley meeting their new sister Kylee. Hayden only cared that his sister brought him a new car. Haldey was very imtimated. She wouldn't even sit with me at first. But she soon warmed up and now she will not leave "baby Kyee" alone. One day I will have to post my labor story. Worst Labor yet, and Dan has a little something he would like to share also.... if you can get it out of him ;)
Marco Island collecting seashells. Not Kylee's first trip to the beach. She made it to the beach with Grandma and the fam before she was even a week old!
Shark Valley where Keen played mom. Can you see how close we are to the alligators? There were tons of them!
Mom and Keen. Mom is practicing her moves for her Broadway tryout. (magic hands)
Keen may look like a skinny little woose, but her and Hayden got right up there with the gators.
The boat ride.... who knows what going on with keens face.
There's my baby girl!
There's my baby girl mauling my other baby girl. Yes, I have caught Hadley picking up her baby sister and I my heart stopped and I leaped across the kitchen to the living room to grab her. (We have title floors!)
Hadley showing off her birthday dolly Belle. It was her favorite for about 4 days until Aunt Jamie had to show me up with her baby for real dolly she gave Hadley for Christmas, which now can be spotted in pretty much every activity in the house.
Our project and Home depot where the kids made banks. Hayden was pretty into building it and getting all the spots painted.
Hadley was just obsessed with coloring it.
My little princess, can you see her storks bite on her forehead? She is just so unique. You can't see it in this pic but she also has a crazy baby toe that folds over her next toe.
Don't know why I can't write under Hadley, but she is my beach babe!
Not that these two young 18 year old woman aren't babes! We hit up my favorite beach and it was swarming in jellyfish so we couldn't get in the water, we just took sticks and poked the jelly fish that had washed up on the sand.
Had to add another of Kylee, so innocent.
she will never turn into a crazy two year old girl right???
I believe this one is the work of Hayden's new interest in photography.
My Justin Beiber. (sp) Actually my Justin is no more..... keep on looking
All the girls.
Dad waited a little to long to rake the leaves, so mom had to step in, which means FUN is involved!
A strawberry farm we visited. Mostly to eat strawberry shakes. Kids waiting patiently as mom is feeding Kylee in the car.
Hayden on the hunt to find the perfect strawberry to pick. He got a little impatient and in love with having scissors and would pick anything that looked good.
Miss Hadley that would take the scissors and STAB the strawberry!!! Lol, she knows what she wants.
Downing our shake. It was DElish.
Hadley showing off her sister. No I am not on drugs.
Hayden's knew dew. It was time. He's hair was too long. This picture only lasted one day and than I wacked it even more. It is short, he looks a lot older. Even though I wasn't to sad to see it go this time, I think we will grow it out again.
Yes even out of focus she is adorable.
Her eyes are hypothesizing you! I am a princess, I am a princess!
Another Pic by Hayden. My cutie, firecraker! We started potty training this week. Apparently M&M's weren't doing it for her. As soon as mom offered gum as a potty reward, things have been a lot better.
Just thought this was silly looking. She doesn't quiet fit into all her three month clothes yet, but momma still tries!
Well Jam, I hope you are happy. I now have NO homework done, Dan is on way home and I have no dinner on the table and I still don't have time to go through and prof read my post! Take what you can get!
